Congratulations to Seamus Farren, who led the Donegal league team and who beat Cloughaneely Golf Club to advance to the final of this year’s competition.
In the first leg at Letterkenny GC, the home team produced some excellent golf to get four and a half matches from five.
Wins by Kieran Sweeney / Kevin Rafferty, Liam Wiseman / Ronan Daly, Kevin Hensey / Charlie Coughlan, John Russell / Brian O’Donnell and a half secured in the top match by Cian Harkin / Jamie Foley. This meant one match was required in the away leg to progress to the final.
A strong team selection gave Letterkenny a fighting chance and indeed the required result was achieved.
A win in the top match by Kieran Sweeney / Kevin Rafferty meant the remaining matches were called in. At the time, two matches were level and two matches were down.
Congratulations to Seamus and team in reaching the final which will be against Rosapenna Golf Club.
